This week co-hosts Nick Dyrenfurth and Kos Samaras are joined by Dr Kylie Gilbert-Moore — Middle East scholar, columnist and former political prisoner in Iran. After spending 804 days jailed in Tehran’s Evin Prison, Kylie offers a rare perspective on how the Iranian regime works and how ordinary Iranians see the world. In this episode we unpack:

• Iran’s widening war in the Middle East

• The death of Ali Khamenei and rise of his son
• Whether authoritarian regimes are stronger or more fragile during war
• What Iranians actually think about the conflict
• How the region might change if Iran’s regime falls
